The Influence of Forearm and Wrist Orientation on Static Grip Strength as a Design Criterion for Hand Tools
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1976-07-01)
The amount of force required to use a hand tool and its relationship to the user's capacity to exert this force is a critical design criterion of hand tools, often affecting the immediate safety of the tool user and the ...
A Study of Bicycle Design as it Affects Safety of Operation
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1974-10-01)
This paper presents the results of studies concerned with bicycle design and safety of operation. One study concerned the relationship between handlebar design, i.e., racing, regular and hi-rise, to bicycle control. It was ...
Human Factors in the Design of Effective Product Warnings
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1978-10-01)
Warning messages for product use are important for the safety of the user and to fulfill the legal duty to warn on the part of the manufacturer. A number of issues related to the design of such warnings have been neglected ...
A Study of Post-Crash Bus Evacuation Problems
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1978-10-01)
This study was conducted to provide information related to the post-crash evacuation of inter-city buses. A review of bus accident data and relevant literature was completed to provide an understanding of the variables ...
Adaptive Effects of Static Muscular Strength Training
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1975-10-01)
The trend towards mechanization of tasks involving manual labor has increased the importance of static muscular activity (isometric contractions). Information about the physiological reaction to static muscular activity ...
Strategies for Improving Visual Inspection Performance
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1974-10-01)
This paper summarizes recent results obtained in inspection studies including several studies performed by the authors. Both static and dynamic visual inspection tasks are included. Based on these results, a proposed new ...
